I moved from the Z Fold 4 to the Global V2 last month and couldn't be happier. The deal on Three UK ended up being £734 for the V2. For that it's the slimmest foldable, full Global with Google apps, full pen support which works great, full desktop mode and wireless desktop mode all of which are my non-negotiables for living one device with lapdocks and portable monitors. It's going to be a while before there's a better alternative!

[@AverageDadOfficial]

That's great! in fairness, the Oneplus Open is a better alternative already but i know what you mean

[@ecocadia]

No desktop mode though so a no go for me.

[@ZhuBaBa1974]

I one-up you: Honor Magic V2 Ultimate Edition 16GB/1TB configuration. China-only availability with 2 years (China only) warranty (bought when I'm in China), and with FULL Google support (it's Google Play Store certified!). Still the BEST, THINNEST, and LIGHTEST foldable in my opinion ...

[@marcelontech]

Thats a great deal mate, well done. Did you trade in your G Fold 4?

[@ecocadia]

​@@marcelontechI bought my Z Fold 4 a year ago for £680 on eBay, and resold it for £580, so only cost £100 for the year.

[@booda22]

Thank you for a very informative video, but i have a question regarding the chinese rom on the vivo, aside from the android auto and google pay not working can you tell me exactly what else doesn't function as intended? And do the chinese notifications pop up?

[@kendall316uk4]

@AverageDadOfficial Great video as always, though interested in the pro version with a SD Gen3. Actually been trying to find out more info on when contract foldables with a SD Gen3 are coming to the likes of O2 in the UK. Would that be something you or your sources are able to find out?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Coming soon!

[@kendall316uk4]

@AverageDadOfficial That's exactly what O2 keep telling me 😂😂

[@fatphoca5009]

Just imagine how much bigger the gap will be with the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro

[@qwerty977]

What's the camera sensor of it? I did some research but found none

[@f50koenigg]

I think Im gonna have to wait for the V3 to actually compare the two. Also whats the title of the NCS music that you used?

[@morm2173]

Do you still think the Huawei mate x5 fold is the best?

[@dp5007]

can someone pls clarify.I have the honor v2 chinese with google update but no android auto. Does the chinese x fold 3 pro have same or its the old alternative Gbox etc needed which s a no go for me due to delays and notifications etc? Android auto i can live without but not the rest

[@ericbrink8305]

I have the V2 chinese rom and will get de Vivo 3 pro in 3 days. Will make the comparison also. Thanks for being the first to show us 👍🏼

[@geertjanssens4789]

Sorry for the late reply, the replacement of the screen indeed took about 3 weeks, and only costed me 65 euros for sending, that's including insurance

[@zapatatapaz]

My vivo x fold PLUS has been very good with its periscope camera, is the vivo x fold 3 periscope AND speakers any better?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

No periscope on x fold 3... pay attention

[@P3lusio]

If i got chines smartwatch wich is huawei talkband b7 and only way to work with my rog phone 3 is to set chines region in huawei health app, it will work with this vivo fold? It possible to use banking app on chines ROM?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

The watch will pair no problem. all UK banking apps apart from Barclays

[@AhmedTSN]

Is the OriginOS better than the Chinese ColorOS? in your experience

[@AverageDadOfficial]

yes, i think it is!

[@Markus56165]

Thanks for the video. Some advice. The ridiculous claims by manufacturers stating any phone screen gets 3000, 4000 + nits of brightness is beyond stupid and incredibly misleading. That’s in like 1% of the actual screen and only in very specific situations. It’s perfectly fine to list those specs, but when doing comparisons, please give your interpretations of the actual perceived brightness differences versus just the differences in specs listed on paper.

[@sebastianlejon1313]

I feel like the price should be compared with the China version of Honor Magic V2 though... Kinda? The difference becomes a lot less at that point. Also, not sure why but in my currency the price difference between V2 and X Fold 3 is way less, i tried calculating it and it ends up being that the X Fold 3 in the 16/512 version is 164 GBP cheaper. (Than Global V2, with Chinese ROM the difference is even less). I think the Vivo seems slightly nicer, but that thing with not having Google Pay is killing for me. Haven't used any debit or credit cards in stores for months because i only use Google Pay.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

If toy paid attention then you would know that the software round would have also gone to Vivo if it was against chinese V2 so complete whitewash as chinese V2 is still more expensive than x fold 3! you are aso wrong on price... i literally showed the prices on screen! thanks for watching but maybe don't come back

[@genocequa]

Google Pay works on my VIVO X FOLD PLUS. I use it all the time.

​@@AverageDadOfficial ​Wait what, you want to get up to the level of Ben Sin or MrMobile, but you spit out rude replies like this in your comments? I didn't say anything that was in any way a criticism against your video, it was first more a food for thought-question, and then for the thing with the prices: 1) Not everyone who watches your videos are from the UK. 2) Are you aware of all currencies in the world not having the same value? I think you are, because you don't strike me as dumb. 3) Prices straight from Wonda right now, as displayed on their website: The Vivo X Fold 3 16/512 GB - 13 803 SEK Honor Magic V2 (Global) 16/512 GB - 16 021 SEK Now, if you Google the currency conversion for SEK to GBP, you can see that this corresponds to the Vivo X Fold 3 being 1018 GBP and the Honor Magic V2 being 1182 GBP in my currency, which is a difference of 164 GBP. I understand that you were using the UK prices in your comparison which is all fair and dandy, because why shouldn't you? But you should be prepared for questions like that, because with a smaller price difference, the product with the best value might no longer be the same as what you said, and that's pretty much what I was wondering. But honestly, mostly I want to say is that I have thus far enjoyed your content on KZbin and have been watching your videos for quite some time, but... Telling people to not come back for asking questions? Take a small step back man, and think about what that signals about you as a content creator.

[@ioancioca3790]

​@@sebastianlejon1313totally agreeing with you. That was very rude indeed

[@saqqawattuhb7505]

I paid £95 to post my HMV2 to Wonda Hong Kong ot get the hinge replaced. Took three weeks in total.

[@manmute98]

I also need to get mine sent due to black hot patch on internal screen when Unfolded. How did you book in the repair to Honor, once you sent phone off to WondaMobile?

[@saqqawattuhb7505]

@@manmute98 I e-mailed Wonda with my purchase details, they replied with postage address.

[@shadowfallenable]

Vivo and Honor are nice... BUT there is just something different with the OnePlus Fold software experience that I cant just get enough off. That phone with a better design (especially the camera + BMW android auto support) would be a just perfect.

[@badder002]

thanks that you made such a long detailed video but not one shot of the two phones together, no comparing them if you don't show me what they look like e.g dimensions ,camera bump, screen brightness 2500 vs 4500 nits , weird no?

[@DaRazorback]

Great video as usual.

[@AverageDadOfficial]

I appreciate that

[@vincetmy]

Not sure if it is true - a sales personnel told me that I need to occasionally unfold the HM V2 so that the hinge doesn't get kaput prematurely as that the hinge may not be covered by the extended warranty if it's owner's fault. She further advised that I should unfold the V2 while charging. 1st time I heard the aforesaid. What do you think?

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Not heard that but the hinge is definitely covered under warranty

[@vincetmy]

​@@AverageDadOfficial Noted, TQ for your prompt response.

[@Sacify]

Hey, thanks for your Videos! Really appreciate them. It would be dope for this and further Videos if you could turn Brightness to MAX at both Phones with the Same Video and Record them Side-by-Side. 4500 Nits is only Peak at HDR10? And not the full Screen afaik. I'd love to see which one is brighter at casual KZbin or Netflix Video. I hated my Fold4 at bright Sunlight cause im not seeing a S... :D

point taken, will do

[@kev70705]

When I got my honor v2 I got £500 cash back, plus £164 for my old pixel 7 and free set of free bluetooth head phones rrp£450 give or take. For me this gives the honor magic v2 the win. The phone has been great no problem most days I finish with about 40% battery left I am not a heavy user of my phone so it good to know I can push it more if I wanted to

[@AverageDadOfficial]

[@kev70705]

@@AverageDadOfficial point is worth looking at the deals when it comes to price of the 2 phones that you have compared as the deals on the Chinese variant and global variant for the honor might just help people decide on which one to buy

[@AndyT3ch]

Great Video. I don't understand why Vivo only sell this in China. I get they have to sell at a premium price if they release it globally but a China only release puts it against Huawei Foldable phones and they are out of this world. I guess Chinese people must buy Vivo phones over Huawei but I struggle to fully understand why. Maybe I'm missing something 🤷🏻‍♂️
